The Set of Six Beginning with the Discourse on the Father
187.
He was dwelling at Sāvatthī, etc.
"Severe, monks, is material gain, honour and fame, painful, harsh, forming an impediment to the achievement of the unsurpassed freedom from bondage.
Here I, monks, understand a certain person thus, having encompassed his mind with my mind -
'This venerable one would not speak a conscious lie even for the sake of his father, etc.
even for the sake of his brother,
even for the sake of his sister,
even for the sake of his son,
even for the sake of his daughter,
even for the sake of his wife would he speak a conscious lie.'
I see him at a later time overpowered by material gain, honour and fame, with mind consumed, speaking a conscious lie.
Thus severe, monks, is material gain, honour and fame, painful, harsh, forming an impediment to the achievement of the unsurpassed freedom from bondage.
Therefore, monks, you should train thus -
'We will abandon arisen material gain, honour and fame, and arisen material gain, honour and fame will not remain obsessing our mind.'
Thus indeed, monks, should you train."
The thirteenth.
